La Coralina and Bocas del Toro- A World-Class Surf Destination

Luxury Surf Destination in Bocas del Toro

Bocas del Toro’s reputation as a premier surfing destination was on full display this July, as our vibrant archipelago hosted the ALAS Global Tour Conquistadores de los Mares. This prestigious international competition brought together surfers from across Latin America, cementing Paunch's status as a world-class wave—and La Coralina's role as the premier luxury base for surf travelers.

Luxury Hospitality Meets the ALAS Global Tour

From July 19th to the 24th, the energy at Playa Paunch was electric. The ALAS Tour, a key event for Latin America's professional surfers, transformed our coastline into a stage for elite competition. As a host and proud sponsor, La Coralina Island House and our beach clubs were honored to welcome over 200 athletes and their teams, all here to experience the challenging and beautiful waves of our home—waves you too can ride on your next stay with us.

This event wasn't just a competition; it was a celebration of the sport, the community, and Bocas del Toro's growing role as a hub for surf tourism. Our participation underscores La Coralina's commitment to supporting the local surf scene and connecting guests to the authentic spirit of the islands, where luxury hospitality meets the untamed beauty of the sea.

The Best Waves in the Caribbean for All Levels

Playa Paunch, the wave directly in front of La Coralina, is renowned as one of the best waves in the Caribbean, celebrated for its powerful reef break and consistent conditions. But Paunch is just one gem in Bocas del Toro’s crown. The archipelago is a haven for surfers of all levels, with a diverse range of spots waiting to be discovered.

While the "San Juan Summer" mini-season provides excellent waves from late June to August, the peak surf season runs from December through March. During these months, the conditions are at their best, offering epic, uncrowded swells that draw enthusiasts from all over the world to our luxury surf retreats. From the long, peeling lefts of Paunch to the hollow barrels of other local spots, Bocas offers a unique and unforgettable surf experience.
